1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Purpose: Cirrhotic patients in organ failure are frequently admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) to receive invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). We evaluated the trends of hospitalizations, in-hospital mortality, hospital costs, and hospital length of stay (LOS) of IMV patients with cirrhosis. Methods: We analyzed the United States National Inpatient Sample from 2005-2014. We selected discharges of IMV adult (≥18 years) patients with cirrhosis using the Results: Between 2005 and 2014, there were approximately 9,441,605 hospitalizations of IMV adult patients, of which 4.7% had cirrhosis. There was an increasing trend in the total number of IMV cirrhotic patient hospitalizations (annual percent change [APC] 7.0%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 6.4%; 7.6%, Conclusions: The total number of hospitalizations and total annual costs of IMV patients with cirrhosis have been increasing over time. However, past hesitancy around admitting cirrhotic patients to the ICU may need to be tempered by the improving mortality trends in this patient population.
